Not only this, but she is also biting at her legs and when her little tummy tightens up, she is chewing at the sides of her belly. Is there anything that I can do to comfort her with this pain? Obviously, I know with women a warm bath helps, but she would flip out if I put her in a tub right now! I have been sitting and rubbing her tummy, but that doesn't really seem to distract her too much.

Any suggestions?

Rubbing her tummy is good, and talking to her. Offer her water, and just being with her will help her. I always turn on Country Classics really low, and the music seems to calm her some too. Dairy farmers always have music playing when they milk cows, because it calms them. Hang in there, we're all praying for Livi and you!
